Wednesday's here and we are back with the links of death and depression. I mean, sunshine and happiness, of course.

Tetris on the Face of Skyscraper
Now the next step would be to play Tetris using skyscrapers... (via Designboom)
Robotic Instrument Plays Tattoos as Musical Compositions
This is the first time when the musician's repertoire will be limited by the square footage of their skin surface. (via Designboom, by Dmitry Morozov of ::vtol:)
